Former leeds and manchester united forward,eric cantona has slamed french football for lack of culture in country's premier league,also known as ligue 1,the former les bleus feels there is no passion for the league from the french football organizers.
"There are six clubs in Rio, the same in
London.In other big cities like rome
Barcelona, Milan, Madrid, Buenos Aires,
Manchester, Istanbul, they have at
least two," Cantona told L'Equipe .
"But in France, we've never been able to have two viable clubs in Paris.
"It's not only unique to Paris either.
France is the only country in which
there aren't two top-level clubs in the same city.
"I'm talking about the top league. We
have to face up to the facts: France
doesn't have a football culture, doesn't
have passion for football. That's the
situation today anyway. Perhaps it will change."
Only paris saint german and monaco look to have established themselves in europe as other clubs are still not capable of challenging for honours in europe.
